It looks like the chicken entrails have predicted the arrival of the Strength and Honour rules at some point in April, so I better get on and start assembling my Roman and Parthian armies. I have all the units I need from the Antonine Miniatures range, apart from some baggage camels, so it will be a straight forward conveyor belt approach to painting and basing them up. I have a day off on Friday this week, so I thought I'd have a go at a test unit of an Imperial Roman legion in triple aces, painting the blocks using a quick dry brushing and basic detailing method, then texturing and painting the base separately before putting it all together. I think this will be easier and faster than gluing the blocks in place first. I am also going to get a couple of the new marching camp sets from Warbases and some baggage for the Roman army, as it will be on campaign against the Parthians and will do doubt need some logistic back up.
